Dan Spring (22 July 1910 – 6 September 1988) was an Irish Labour Party politician who served as a Teachta Dála (TD) for the Kerry North constituency from 1943 to 1981.

[2] Through his involvement with the ITGWU he became well known enough to stand in Kerry North for the Labour Party at the 1943 general election.

He was elected as the first Labour Party Teachta Dála (TD) for Kerry and held his seat until he retired in 1981.

[2] For the rest of his political career Spring never held any significant post on a national level, and as a relatively conservative rural Labour man he fell out of step with the official line of the Labour Party, which moved significantly to the left during the 1960s and 1970s.

Spring concentrated on his constituency work and was returned in every election he stood in until he retired in 1981, his son Dick then successfully contesting the seat.
